I guess anytime you find something strange in a -sylvania you have to assume the worst. I’m just relieved our long national nightmare is finally over.

I can’t wait til next season!

Sean Taylor clearly has no sense of right and wrong. This is hilarious.

The day I made a waitress cry*

Date January 29, 2007

There’s a crappy little bar near my apartment that has a pretty sweet dinner deal—two-for-one burgers and appetizers every evening. So if you go with an even number of people, and everyone gets burgers, dinner’s half price. They offer lots of different burgers, all for reasonable prices (even before the discount), and if you want to substitute a chicken breast or a veggie burger you can do so at no extra charge. And, shockingly, their burgers are pretty good.

As a student without a whole lot of equity, cheap eating is a priority for me, so I’ve been a frequent two-for-one burgerer. It’s a great deal and two blocks away—sure beats cooking. My favorite burger to order is the grilled cheeseburger, which is exactly what you would expect—a burger patty in the middle of a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s a real insider order, too, since it’s not listed with the rest of the burgers (I guess because it’s not on a regular bun)—it’s under the “Sandwiches” heading instead. Anyway, it’s freaking delicious, and you don’t have to waste any valuable chewing time on vegetables.

Okay, so on to the story. (Incidentally, this story is pretty boring for a while, but I encourage you to stick with it. Two-thirds through I turn into a real dickhead.)

Why hasn’t Google done this already?

Date January 24, 2007

As anyone who uses Gmail and other Google web services knows, Google has already implemented a global contact list. When you want to share your Google Calendar with a friend, the site already has all of your Gmail contacts stored for easy retrieval from a drop-down list. The same thing happens when you want to [...]

My new favorite patriotic ghost ballad.

Oh man. So on SNL they had this Young Chuck Norris music video. Which I thought was basically just a weird joke related to the whole Chuck Norris Facts phenomenon that has been all over the internet lately.

But apparently it’s ALSO a parody of this horrifying, creepy, superpatriotic music video that is sung from the [...]

DC’s greatest treasure

Date January 11, 2006

Marion Barry, former DC mayor and current member of the city council, tested positive for cocaine. In case you don’t remember, this is the same guy who got caught (while mayor) buying crack at a DC hotel and proclaimed of an associate, “bitch set me up!” And then, not long after that, he was reelected [...]

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Despite being out til 1am and not getting to sleep til 2am, I was up by 7:15 this morning even though football doesn’t start until 4:30 this afternoon. I’m seriously considering spending the interim playing through an entire videogame season (and postseason), hoping to advance my team of choice to the Video Game Superbowl.

Playoff fever…CATCH [...]
